Rectification Work Delays Season Opener

Despite Council’s efforts to bring Plateau Park (Vic Huxley Oval) up to a satisfactory condition, junior and senior home games were cancelled for round one. The decision was made jointly between the Club and Council ground staff in order to give the repair work the best chance of taking hold. There are still issues with the ground following PIPE’s year long occupation for drilling with a large depression in the playing surface where PIPE’s compound was situated. There is also cleaning work to be done on the artificial grass pitch surface as dirt has been worn into the surface when the plastic protective sheeting was exposed and torn during the hiatus. CPCC are still working with Council on getting the ground right. We understand that Council are still in negotiation with PIPE over further work to be done on the oval and we anxiously await developments.
